It's Good To Be A Girl!

I have to admit, I'm super excited about this post and have been since I came up with the idea a few months ago! I've been looking for the opportunity to include my girls on my blog ~ they are both beautiful, each have a great sense of style and are really good writers (unlike their momma!). Vera Bradley's new "It's Good To Be A Girl" campaign seemed like the perfect time to feature them because we Herrin girls sure do love most everything about being a girl!!

My girls and I spent last Saturday morning together doing some of our favorite things ~ coffee, shopping, talking, laughing, lunching and chatting about why each of us think it's good to be a girl!

Madison Christina is my baby girl, the youngest of my three kids. She's 21 (almost 22!) and is a senior in college majoring in PR/Communications. To know Madie is to love Madie. She lights up a room and always has a smile on her sweet face. Oh, and she wants to marry Tim Tebow, so if anyone has any connections please help a girl out! ;-)

Why It's Good To Be A Girl in Madison's words...

Being a girl means I get to have fun filled days like last Saturday -- dressing up in new clothes, carrying a new purse, fixing my hair, trying something different with my makeup, and walking around my favorite town with my two best friends. When I think about what it means to be a girl and why I love it so much, I can't help but think about my favorite Audrey Hepburn quote. “I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls." She was a girls girl and I love it. I love getting to completely 'girl out' with my sister and mom for the day. I love getting all dressed up and going out. I love getting my hair done on the reg. I love getting my nails done-what a difference a mani/pedi can make! And I love being girly and planning my entire 22nd birthday around the theme, PINK. There is so much to being a girl-- so much flexibility and variety (big t-shirt, no makeup, baseball cap kind of days... those happen more often than id like to admit #college), but for me, getting dolled up is definitely my favorite and probably the #1 reason I love being a girl.

Megan Grace is my oldest, my "apple", my shining star. She's been married to Colton, her high school sweetheart, for a little over 3 1/2 years. She's also the strongest, most determined person I know. She may be little but she is fierce!

Why It's Good To Be A Girl in Megan's words...

It’s good to be a girl because, “Playing dress up begins at age 5 and never truly ends.” Kate Spade said this and I believe this to be true. I feel like my style changes depending on my mood. I’m not just referring to my clothes when I say ‘style,’ but my makeup as well. I view clothes and makeup as a fun and creative way to express myself. Boys don’t necessarily have that option to change up their clothing and makeup depending on how they are feeling that day! I feel like my style is constantly changing and I do consider it dress most of the time! Some days I feel like I am embracing my inner Hippie and everything from my hair, to my makeup, to my clothes embraces the boho style. I do the same thing with girlie girl style or casual chic. This purse from Vera Bradley and the clothes I chose from Entourage (pictured below) are very versatile. I can use this purse as a pop of color with any outfit that I choose for the day and the Entourage clothing can be mixed and matched to fit the way I am feeling any day of the week!

There are SO many reasons why I think it's good to be a girl! From big things like having really awesome, supportive girl friends, some who have been in my life for.ev.er and some who have only been in my life for a few years, to little things like Gilmore Girls marathons with my girls (November 25th can't get here fast enough!) and being able to wear leopard print every.single.day if I feel like it! But for me the number one reason it's good to be a girl is the privilege and blessing of being a mom. There is nothing that compares. No job that's greater. Nothing that makes me happier. My kids, the three I gave birth to and the one that became mine when he married my daughter, are my joy, my heart and why I think It's REALLY Good To Be A Girl!!

OK, it's your turn! Why do you think It's Good To Be A Girl?! Please leave a comment and let me know! And one more thing... would you like to see more of these mother/daughter style posts? Let me know your thoughts on that too!
